Porter's Five Forces, the AI recipe

Everyone knows Porter’s Five Forces. Almost nobody has a repeatable way to turn it into eight credible, sourced pages on a deadline. This recipe closes that gap.

What you get#

• A structured prompt chain that walks each of the five forces from a blank page to a defendable verdict.
• A source-checking pass that flags every claim the model cannot support, so nothing unsourced reaches your deck.
• A verdict template, Strong / Moderate / Weak, with direction, that keeps the analysis consistent and comparable.
• A slide-ready output format you can paste straight into a board pack.

Who it is for#

Consultants, founders, and senior managers who need a competitive position understood before a decision, and who would rather sharpen their own reasoning with AI than hand the thinking over to it.

How it works#

You bring the industry and the question. The recipe brings the structure: frame, research, challenge, refine, deliver. Three or four iterations in, you have an analysis with the forces clearly named, the verdicts defendable, and the implications sharp enough to drive a recommendation.
